A few Scholars have notice that Demons seem to to have several different lanaguages that seem not to be related to each other and as a result they may not all be from the same realms in the outer planes, however to the average person they are all demon lords and have demon servants. As a result several demons have been given moral titles along they way. While the Expression Nine hells is common some swear by 22 hells, 48 hells and 101 hells. The Dark pits of the Abyss is another swear used by many but seems to refer to legendary realm in the Underdark not the outer plane.
